Google Image Traffic

I saw a video by someone (can't remember who) who suggested the image title tag is an important element.
However, I've not tested this so I can't say whether it's true.

Gosh did I read right ... Steve aint tested it??!!??!!
(sorry easy target though today!!)
I would have thought that as long as you put the correct filename and tags to a picture it would get picked up. Mind the amount of people who just stick in image01 etc ... and no, don't go looking at my sites and tell me I do it - I aint got the foggiest as I can't see anyone wanting images of money!!
But yes products, would have thought it a very good idea!

Good question.
My site isn't at all well represented in Google images unlike the normal search results where we dominate our little niche.
I don't think the image title tag is enough as I am careful with this.
I wonder whether it is similar to the brand name searches where preference is given to the little sites?
The strange thing is that when I search for a brand name that is exclusive to me that no-one else stocks then the image search brings up a completely random set of images from my site which have no relevance or connection to the brand name searched against. So not quite sure how the connection works.....

It's SEO. Who cares about that?
I've got more important things to test.

Hi
The reason I asked was as I had a slightly strange enquiry asking detail that was not on the website. When I asked how she found us it was via google images so I then checked the traffic and they are sending serious traffic so thought I would pay a bit more attention to them. They are also getting distributed around the web via SM. Hard to track but the more touch points the better.
